Hacker 'Evil' may have been behind Distribute.IT and Sydney University Breaches

[altonius <altonius () gmail com>]

Distribute.IT has claimed that the 25-year-old man arrested in Cowra
yesterday for allegedly hacking wholesale internet provider Platform
Networks is believed to be the perpetrator behind the disastrous
attack on Distribute.IT in June that led to the loss of data for over
4000 customers.

The police started an investigation after the University of Sydney
website was hacked in January, the first in a series of hacks that it
believes to have traced back to the same man — an unemployed truck
driver called David Cecil who the Australian Federal Police (AFP)
alleges taught himself the skills required.
